Thank you for your advice, especially about breathing. I still have anxiety regarding the nasal pillows. I'm trying. I barely slept last night and thought I'd sail into dream land. And its not happening. I may have a gi complication due to anxiety. GAS! I've taken remedies for the gi, a mild antihistamine that relaxes and I'm still awake. I tried reading with a sim light, the book dropped a few times, almost dosed off. Felt quite relaxed in bed, but still awake. I'll take you advice. Good night!.
Falling asleep and falling back asleep both before and aster starting with the C-pap machine. I'm 71 and resisted using a c-for years, finally my adult children and their wives begged me to start. I could never wear a a mask and nasal pillows seem to work. Owever sometimes falling asleep is a problem. Should I take long deep breaths or short. I think I stop breathing while trying to fall asleep and this startles me. Anxiety at bedtime has been a problem from time to time in the past. I have some oral presentations, and usually I can fall asleep , and rehearsing them usually worked, such that barely begin and fall asleep. Now that doesn't seem to work as well. I'm sleeping longer at night, waking up one or twice (an hour early) instead of hourly wake ups sometimes before the nasal pillows and C-pap.
Any suggestions regarding breathing and falling asleep. Sometimes I hav been in baed awake for 15-20 min and I'll get up and check my e-mail. It relaxes me. Or seek help on the internet. That's how I found this website.
